Today I am sharing my last Christmas card for this year.

I used the Carolers cut file from My Scrap Chick and cut them at the actual size. This card ended up being a 5 x 7" card so that I could fit the images. I kept it pretty simple since the images took up most of the card.

Today the 2013 Peachy Keen Stamps design team is celebrating a wonderful year of creativity and also saying a fond farewell as this is the end of our term. It is, by far, one of the best design teams that I have had the pleasure serving and the my fellow design team sisters have been the best!

I want to take this time to express my gratitude and love to Kathy and the Peachy Keen family. Kathy is beyond generous with us and she makes it easy to create with her wonderful illustrations!

As we say farewell, we are sharing some of our favorite Peachy Keen creations of 2013.

If you arrived here from Tanya's blog: Nonna's Craft Corner then you are in the right place. If you just stumbled upon my blog then you will want to head back to Tanya's blog as she is the first stop.

This was not an easy task but I believe I have it narrowed down to my favorites so here goes...

I just love how this card turned out! I used the sewing machine and spools of thread from PKSC-23 November 2013. You can find all the details for this card HERE.

My intentions were to have something new to share with you today but the holidays have taken over and I just didn't make it to my craft room!

I love the chalkboard look so I decided to use it for this sweet Valentine card. All I did was heat emboss my sentiment with white embossing powder then stamped my sentiment again with white chalk ink slightly off. I added a few smudges of the chalk ink for added interest.

Subway Art has been so popular and now Scrappy Moms Stamps has some great subway art stamps. For my tag I used the brand new Subway Art - Holidays! I wanted the image to be the focus so I kept it simple. I may use it as a tag or add it to a card.

Welcome to the First Saturday in December and the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop.

This month is all about tags.

If you came from June's Blog: Simply Elegant Paper Crafts then you are in the right place. If you just happened upon my blog and want to start from the beginning the head on over to June's blog because she is the first stop!!

Here is the tag I created for you today.

For m y tag I chose designer paper from My Mind's Eye Winter Wonderland(psst.. this paper is on sale!!). I have loved this paper so much that I have 2 pads and lots of scraps. So, I thought this would be a great way to use up some of those scraps.

I used the Stitched Hexy Dies from My Creative Time and cut out 10 hexies. I, then, created my tree. It was really easy and I love the way it came out. I topped the tress with some Twinery Baker's Twine and topped it with a brad from the coordinating My Mind's Eye Brads.

I added a little stitching around my tag and stapled on some ribbon from my stash.

There are many items on sale at Shop Pumpkin Spice make sure to visit the store HERE or HERE.

My gingerbread was stamped with PK-521 Winter Faces 1 1/8. I colored in the nose and hearts with my Copics then I added a little glossy accents to the hearts. The cookies got some fruit punch Stickles and some DS65-3 Snow Writer. I thought it looked like frosting.

Today I am sharing another sneak peek of Peachy Keen Stamps December release.

I love these new Reverse Sentiments that Angelica created!

I used the happy birthday sentiment to make a quick card. The background of my card was dry embossed with the Cuttlebug Birthday embossing folder. The rick rack was created with Chevron and Rick Rack die from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

I stamped my sentiment from PK-1347 Reverse Sentiments in some Tsukineko Brilliance Dew Drop Ink in Pearlescent Orchid ink. It has a nice shimmer to it. I tried to capture it in this picture.

I layered my sentiment on top of a scallop that I punched and a Tim Holtz rosette.

It was super quick and so easy to put together!

Tonight is the night that you will be able to see the whole reveal and you will finally be able to purchase your stamps. Join us on Facebook HERE to get in on all the release party fun!
